When I get my iPhone4 next week, how do I set it up with MobileMe without getting duplicate contacts etc. I have 1200 customer names and files on there from my 3GS. Do I tell iTunes not to sync and then just set up the phone to sync with MobileMe?
Got a tip for us?

If you are using MM now then your contacts, calendar etc are in MM (cloud) and not on iTunes. When you get the new phone MM will just start syncing with it after setup. When I got my new phone I just connect my old to iTunes for final sync and backup. Then plugged in new phone and activated and restore my just backed up settings and pictures and music and video and MM just synced over the air.
